Chapter 455: Continuous exposure, driving the old man crazy
Madam Wu, who had been as steady as a rock just now, now had a look of panic on her face.
She yelled, "Lan'er!"
Wu Lan'er sneered at Madam Wu, "You can't threaten me, my mother is here."
"Also, this is the Imperial Palace, not your single-handedly loyal and righteous mansion!"
Wu Lan'er looked at Chen and said, "Mother is right. The medicine was indeed stolen by our ancestor."
"It was our ancestors who deprived my father of the chance to stand up again!"
Madam Wu immediately denied it, "Zheng'er, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. No one in this world wants you to stand up more than me. How could I steal your medicine?"
"Back then, when the Imperial Concubine suspected Grandmother, you were the one who stood up to defend her. Have you forgotten all this?"
Madam Wu was afraid that Wu Zheng would become suspicious of her after learning that the emperor was going to take action against Hong Zhong.
She gave up her plan to go to the border to look for Hong Zhong.
Wu Zheng frowned in pain.
After a long pause, he finally said, "I believe my grandmother won't harm me."
"After all, if it weren't for my grandmother, I would have drowned in the lotus pond long ago."
Chen finally understood why Wu Zheng trusted and protected this old man so much.
It turns out that this old man once saved Wu Zheng's life.
No wonder, no wonder!
In the ear room, Concubine Hui uttered a very light murmur.
"So that old thing once saved my brother's life. No wonder he defended her so much."
But Shen Zhao felt that it was not that simple.
Just like everyone was saying that Lin Feihu was hacked to death by the enemy in order to save Chu Mu.
She always felt that there was something strange going on.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the voice of Madam Wu.
[This idiot really thought it was me who saved him back then, but it was his own mother who risked her life to save him.]
[When this idiot woke up, her mother had already drowned. Unfortunately, no one found her at the other village.]
[I only did a minor trick to start a fire. Everyone thought it was caused by the dry winter weather and accidentally caused the fire, which resulted in Wu Zheng's mother being burned to death inside.]
[In fact, I watched the little bitch who was on guard against me at that moment drowned alive.]
[I still remember how she looked at me unwillingly and asked my servants for help. How foolish she was! How could anyone around me save her?]
[Not only did I solve this problem, but I also owed him the debt of gratitude for saving Wu Zheng's life. If killing Wu Zheng hadn't easily aroused suspicion, I would have burned them both to death.]
[After all, it was I who sent Wu Zheng into the water.]
This old vicious woman!
After listening to the old man's inner thoughts, Shen Zhao almost couldn't help cursing, but he felt more pity for the imperial concubine.
She had clearly tried her best to protect her child, but the credit was taken away by the person who killed her.
He also used this favor to control Wu Zheng for decades.
If Madam Wu knew about this in the afterlife, she would be so heartbroken.
Wu Lan'er became anxious when she saw the old man who didn't feel threatened at all.
"Father and daughter did not lie. It was indeed our ancestor who stole the medicine."
"From the moment the news spread that the Imperial Concubine had obtained that medicine for my father, our ancestors had their eyes on it."
"Because Wu Chong, who was far away at the border at that time, was also seriously injured, and his legs were almost crippled."
"After our ancestor obtained the medicine, he ordered it to be delivered to the border at full speed. If you don't believe me, you can ask my cousin Wu Yunfeng. If you still don't believe me, you can go to the border yourself."
"Back then, the Wu Chong incident became known to everyone. My ancestors even cursed my aunt in front of me, saying she had ruined two children!"
"It would be better to send it to her and raise it."
The reason why she didn't tell this matter back then was that she had selfish motives.
Her father didn't like her at first. Even if she called him father sweetly and flatteringly, he still treated her coldly.
She knew that her grandmother had stolen her father's future, but she still didn't say anything and chose to remain silent.
"Is what Grandma Lan'er said true?" Wu Zheng rarely spoke up and questioned.
Before Madam Wu could answer, Wu Zheng added:
"Feng'er is in the palace now. I can ask him, or write a letter to an old friend. I can find out whether Chong was seriously injured and how he recovered."
"Grandmother, although your grandson has been away from the military camp for many years, he can still find out the truth of this matter if he wants to."
He didn't want to believe that his grandmother, who had once saved his life, would steal the medicine that allowed him to stand up.
Ke Lan'er's words were so reasonable and well-founded that he couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
Madam Wu opened her mouth but said nothing.
She wanted to deny it, but as Wu Zheng said, as long as Wu Zheng investigated, he would definitely be able to find out the truth of that year.
Hong Zhong did not really control the border troops.
If Hong Zhong had not crippled Wu Zheng, the position of Border General would never have fallen to Hong Zhong.
Those border troops had followed Wu Zheng to conquer the world. The reason they submitted to Hong Zhong was entirely for Wu Zheng's sake.
Although many years have passed, Hong Zhong has won the hearts of many people. Relying on his relationship with Big Brother Wu Zheng, he has basically taken control of the border troops.
But as long as Wu Zheng takes action, those who are not truly submissive to Hong Zhong will probably be the first to rebel against Hong Zhong.
Shen Zhao listened to Madam Wu's thoughts and narrowed his eyes slightly. If Wu Zheng and Wu Hongzhong turned against each other.
The chance of capturing the border troops will be greatly increased, and unnecessary casualties will be reduced.
Madam Wu bit her tongue and said:
"Zheng'er, listen to grandma's explanation. It was indeed grandma who took the medicine. Chong was in critical condition, and his lower body was injured."
"Grandmother was afraid that the child couldn't bear the blow, and Grandmother thought that since the Imperial Concubine could get that medicine, she would definitely get a second one for you, so Grandmother sent someone to deliver that medicine to Chong at the border."
"It's all Grandma's fault, Grandma's carelessness. She lives in agony day and night. Zheng'er, can you forgive Grandma?"
Wu Lan'er looked at her father's hesitant expression and clenched her fists.
"The ancestor can argue that he stole the medicine because he wanted to save Wu Chong. After all, in the ancestor's heart, your father is not your direct bloodline, so naturally he cannot compare to Wu Chong, who is your direct bloodline."
"Then Lan'er asked Grandmother, why did you dig up the grave of your ancestors?"
"Is this also due to a compelling reason?"
When Wu Lan'er said this, Chen Zhao quickly supported Concubine Hui, who was almost fainted from the shock.
Concubine Hui could no longer bear it. She was so angry about the medicine that she almost vomited blood.
Now she learned that her mother's grave had been dug up by this vicious old woman, and she could no longer bear it.
Shen Zhao whispered, "Your Majesty, please consider the overall situation. If you rush out now, that old villain might turn the tables on you."
Everyone in the ear room had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. Even people who were incompatible with each other would not do such a thing as digging up someone else's ancestral grave.
This will bring punishment from heaven and condemnation from the world.
"Grandfather, please tell Lan'er why you dug up my grandmother's grave!"
"Grandmother has been dead for many years, and you still sent people to dig up her bones and abuse them!"
